This invention relates to dispensing devices,

and has particular reference toa nozzle which is especially designed to be associated with a sealed container, for facilitating the pouring of liquids therefrom.

The invention broadly aims to provide'an' improved dispensing nozzle which is so fash ioned as to afford means for simultaneously forming dispensing and venting openings 1n a sealed container while establishing a fluidtight connection between the nozzle and the walls of theopenings thus formed, whereby to permit the contents of the container to be poured therefrom in a'solid stream with a high degree of accuracy in order to avoid.

spillage and wasting of the contents. 1

The invention further comprehends a de-'.

vice of the character set forth which includes resilient means for retaining the same in associated relation with a container.

The invention furthermore contemplates a dispensing device of the indicated character which is extremely simple in its construction and mode of use, which is inexpensive to produce and which is highly efiicient in its purpose.

With the above recited and other objects in view, reference is had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawings, in

which there is exhibited one example or embodiinent of the invention, while the claims define the actual scope of the same. i

In the drawings: Figure 1 a partial side and sectional view of a container with the dispensing device emplaced thereon and shown in section.

- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the dispensing device removed.

Referring to the drawings by characters of reference, A designates a container having an upper end wall B and formed with/ the usual peripheral bead C. The dispensing device includes a base 5, preferably constructed of resilient sheet metal provided at its outer end with a depending spring clip 6 and formedintermediate itsends with longitudinally spaced openings 7 and 8. A tubular pouring spout 9 is carried by and extends through'the opening 7 of the base and may be soldered or otherwise secured in place.

'provided with a lateral or outwardly projecting, downwardly curved outlet nozzle 12 which extends beyond the outer end edges provided with a clip 6. The spout 9 has an inner or depending portion 13 which is preferably tapered or of gradually decreasing di- 60 ameters downwardly and is cut off at an angle at its :open lower end to provide a perforating pointed terminal 14 which is designed to be initially driven through the container top 13 for avoiding the dispensing opening there 05 4 v In order to provide means for avoiding a venting opening, a tubular, preferably downwardly ta jering perforating element 15 extends th ough the opening 8, and said ele- When this has been accomplished, the device will be operatively associated with the container A to facilitate the pouring and dispensing of the contents therefrom, it being understood that the element 15 functions to vent the container and permit of the pouring of the contents in a solid stream.' Due to the tapering of the portion 13 and the element 15, an intimate sealin engagement between)?" the walls of the opemngin the top and the outerperiphery of the portion 13 and element 15 will obtain to prevent leakage. The spring clip 6 will serve to prevent accidental displacement of the device from the containerwhile the portion 10 above the outlet noz= zle 12 will afford a space to increase the head of liquid while flowing from the container during the pouring operation.

that a simple and efficient means has been provided for facilitating the dispensing of liq- ,uid contents from sealed containers.

While there has been illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of the invention, no limitation is necessarily 1ntended to the precise structural details, and variations and modifications which properly fall within thescope of the claims are reserved. 7

What is claimed is:

1. A device attachable to a sealed container for facilitating the pouring of the contents thereof, said device including a base having a spring clip at one end thereof, a tubular pouring spout carried by and extending through the base, said spout having a closed headed outer end and an outwardly and laterally projecting outlet nozzle between said base and said outer end, said spout being formed with an open inner end having a tapered container perforating terminal.

A device attachable'to a sealed container for facilitating the pouring of the contents thereof, said'device including a base having 7 a spring clip at one end thereof, a tubular pourin spout carried by and extending through the base, said spout having a closed headed outer end and anoutwardly and laterally projecting outlet nozzle between said base and said outer end, said spout being formed-with an open innerend having a tapered container perforating terminal and a tubular venting element carried by the base and formed with an inner tapered container 7 perforating terminal.

3. An attachable dispensing3 device for sealed containers including a ase adapted to overlie an end of the contalner, a spring 'clip at one terminal of said base adapted to engage over a side of the container and a. tubular pouring spout carried by and extending through the base, said spout being formed with a tapered container perforating terminalfunctioning to draw the spring clip into frictional engagement with the slde of the container whereby to retain said device in applied position.
